But when the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.

Critics Consensus

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire offers a certain amount of nostalgia-fueled fun for fans of the original, but a crowded cast and surprisingly serious tone prevent this sequel from truly sparking.

After so many mishandled or abandoned series — from “Fantastic Beasts” to “Narnia” to “Percy Jackson” — it’s nice to see one that’s heading in the right direction.

Until Ghostbusters decides if it wants to throw its lot in with one era or the other, it’s always going to be between two worlds. And that purgatory makes for a middling experience that doesn’t quite satisfy.

This newest franchise entry is built on nostalgia and a stacked cast, but not enough to make it worth watching.

The result is both busy and banal, an overthought calculation leaving very little room for the shaggy charm that made the first movie such a hit.

Frozen Empire will hit the right notes for the fans who want to see the Ghostbusters in action again, but for the rest of us who wanted a more daring, original entry, it’s just another sequel that feels a bit too frosted over.

It felt like the script wasn’t very well written as it could have been. One time viewing is plenty for me.

It has a few good moments & action scenes, but the movie is mostly not as good as the original first 2 ghostbusters movies. There’s a lot happening in the movie but it doesn’t have a good payoff. It mostly dissatisfies me a lot of the time. I prefer the original first 2 movies over these 2 newer GH movies. I don’t like how they utilize the newer characters and story.
